Heroes of Silver Moon
Chapter 312: : Old King's Means (21)
As time passed day by day, as the armies of the Hawke family and the Hood family continued to approach the capital, more and more nobles poured into the capital, preparing to witness this once-in-a-century event with their own eyes.
On this day, the Hawke family's army arrived in Doherty City, and in response to the order of Grand Duke Gaseppe, the Third Army had also gathered here for a long time.
The king had ordered the first and third legions to rush to the capital to witness the battle between the Hawke family and the Hood family.
After all, the two sides add up to tens of thousands of people!
If there is any disagreement between the two sides, wouldn't the capital be in danger!
A reorganized army is 50,000 standing troops, and two reorganizing regiments are 100,000 standing troops. With these 100,000 standing troops as the town, the old king can keep the game going.
And the third legion did not move for a long time, that is, Grand Duke Gasepe, in order to wait for the army of the Hawke family.
As a group of the same interest, Grand Duke Gaseppe must of course build momentum for the Hawke family.
Although as the king's army, the Third Legion could not follow the Hawke family and go directly to the Huhud family's big mouth.
But these 50,000 people followed the Hawke family, and they could always frighten some members of the Hood family.
Lauren almost killed Guy and the others. With the king's restraint, Grand Duke Gaseppe hasn't let out such a bad breath yet!
As usual, the Third Army was conducting drills around Dougherty City, while Grand Duke Gasepe led a group of troops, waiting for the arrival of the Hawke family at the gate of Dougherty City.
As his grandson-in-law, Grand Duke Gaseppe and Valéry haven't met each other until now!
This morning, he received news from the scouts that the Hawke family had arrived near Dougherty City, so he hurriedly asked someone to prepare a banquet, hoping to welcome Valery when he arrived.
At noon, near lunch time, Grand Duke Gaseppe, who was still waiting in front of Doherty City, finally saw the exhausted army of the Hawke family.
Generally speaking, the larger the number of troops, the slower the marching speed. Under normal circumstances, the marching speed of the two thousand and five hundred members of the Hawke family is about 20 kilometers per day.
But this time, in order to get to the capital as soon as possible, Valery directly increased the daily marching distance to 25 kilometers.
Although it is only a short increase of five kilometers, for the Hawke family's army, they have to walk about an hour more on the road every day.
So, this is why the Hawke family's army is so exhausted!
Grand Duke Gaseppe and his party looked at the army of the Hawke family in front of the city, and the army of the Hawke family obviously also saw Grand Duke Gaseppe in front of the city gate.
Therefore, among the army of the Hawke family, several steeds galloped out, and soon came to Grand Duke Gaseppe.
Leading by a white steed, Valery, who was wearing fine full-body plate armor, an exquisite lord's cloak on his shoulders, and a gorgeous lord's long sword on his waist, looked at the old man in front of him speechlessly.
And the rather muscular Grand Duke Gaseppe, who was wearing an exquisite aristocratic robe and an exquisite royal cloak, was also constantly sizing up the lord in front of him who was in his prime.
"Haha, you are the one who abducted my precious granddaughter!", just as the atmosphere at the scene was a little frozen, the white-haired Grand Duke Gaseppe suddenly joked with a smile.
Since Hina married to Alpine Castle, she has never been to him again, so Grand Duke Gaseppe is also very curious about this Earl of Valery.
"Hehe", Valeri felt embarrassed when Grand Duke Gaseppe made such a joke suddenly, and finally could only touch his nose and give a wry smile.
Leading his retainers off their horses, Valéry came to Grand Duke Gaseppe, and then Grand Duke Gaseppe gave Valéry a bear hug.
"Come on, the road has been hard, I have arranged a banquet for you"
As if treating his own grandson, Grand Duke Gaseppe let go of the overwhelmed Valeri, and then very enthusiastically pulled him to the banquet venue that had been prepared in advance.
"Grand Duke, I~" Valery, with a wry smile on his face, was about to say something when he was interrupted by Grand Duke Gaseppe.
"Hey~, so what are you doing with birth, you are the same as Hina, just call me grandpa," Grand Duke Gasepe said kindly, completely ignoring the strange eyes of the people around him.
"Ah", listening to Grand Duke Gaseppe's words, Valery couldn't help but look even more embarrassed.
The grandfather of his wife seemed too enthusiastic!
One retainer was left behind to settle the army, and then under the leadership of Grand Duke Gaseppe, the retainers of the Valery and Hauke families all came to the open-air banquet venue.
Although Dauerty City has always been managed by Grand Duke Gaseppe, Dorty City is the territory of the royal family, and Valeri is now leading a private army, which cannot enter any towns belonging to the royal family at all.
Therefore, no matter how close Grand Duke Gaseppe was to Valeri, he would not dare to let them set foot in Doherty City.
Valery~www.wuxiaspot.com~, who was well aware of this, did not feel any dissatisfaction because of this open-air banquet.
These days, he has long been used to it. With a family private army, the nobles of the royal family along the way did not dare to let him set foot in the towns under their jurisdiction.
If it weren't for this time, leading troops to the king was authorized by the king, and Valery, who brought an army, wouldn't even be able to enter the royal territory.
It is imperative to be cautious, if something happens to Valery's army, the unlucky ones will be those collateral nobles of the royal family.
When I came to the banquet venue, I followed the waiters to sit where I should sit, and then the waiters served a series of dishes.
Let all the families of the Valery and Hawke families, don't hesitate to let them eat.
And those rough retainers of the Hawke family really started to eat and drink, which made the people on the side of Grand Duke Gaseppe look embarrassed.
It's just that Grand Duke Gaseppe didn't take it seriously, and instead chatted with Valéry.
He has learned a lot about the situation of the Hawke family over the years. The seven knight retainers he has are basically uneducated.
Most of them don't even know the words, let alone aristocratic etiquette.
As for marching and fighting, they are good players. After all, they have fought with the previous generation and the barbarians every day since they were young.
The combat experience accumulated over the past few decades is enough for these mud-legged people to command the army.
When the group was about to eat, Grand Duke Gaseppe finally finished his daily chores and chatted with Valeri about the battle this time.
"Going to the capital this time, do you have the confidence to win?", shaking the wine glass in his hand, feeling the continuous rotation of the wine in the glass, Grand Duke Gaseppe asked abruptly.
